Special kudos to boats who didn't get to finish line

Congratulations to everyone who finished BUT ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO RAN INTO TROUBLE AND DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE FINISH LINE FOR WHATEVER REASON. Its extremely disappointing and you have our sympathies. The race is about more than just winning. Its about teamwork, commraderie, and the great love of this exhilarating sport. You will all come back next year and sail again. That's the real spirit of this great race to Mackinac. If you know of a crew that missed the finish, give them a special pat on the back.
